Data validation (DV) is performed according to USEPA National Functional Guidelines. SDS can perform a full or summary DV. A summary validation includes a review of the data elements provided in a typical laboratory data report. A full validation includes a review of all data elements and requires instrument raw data, laboratory bench sheets, calculated calibration worksheets, and instrument performance information, as well as the laboratory data report.

1. Are you overwhelmed by your data spreadsheets? Our database administrators can help.
2. Are you frustrated by the length of time required to complete routine data evaluation steps? Speed the process with our custom tools.
3. Would you like to shorten your validation time? Our Summary Validation is fast and accurate.
4. Are your other validators not getting to the heart of the issues? Our Full Validation is focused and thorough.
5. Are several huge deliverables all due in the same week? Our staff can help your staff meet those deadlines.

Database administration is the process of compiling, maintaining and reporting the environmental data, including field, geographic, biological and chemical data. As your database administrator (DBA), SDS will build a database from laboratory analytical data and field sampling records and/or historical environmental data reports. SDS will provide your engineers and scientists with concise, organized interim data sets to aid in data evaluation and interpretation.

Reports and data manipulations can be implemented as user-friendly programs for client use. SDS's experience developing custom applications include:
√ Electronic Data Loading Tools
√ Manual Data-Entry Screens
√ Automated Data Validation
√ Decision-Tree Analysis
√ Data Interpretation Routines
√ Custom Report and Graph Preparation
